Rate It

Since I travel quite a bit for Band and work Ithought I would start rating the hotels that I stay in.  Back in the day I used to rate them by the quality of the shower.  In some of the places we stayed you would have thought the plumber was four feet high.  The water would hit you in the knee caps and to get your hair wet you would almost have to lay on the floor. (Park Rapids MN) Or how about the showers that spray so much air and water its like getting sand blasted. (EuClair WI) A good shower always makes the day better or the night more comfortable.  I think I'll use the same gauge and rate the last couple of stays.

First off I stayed at the Isle Casino of Waterloo.  When you say Waterloo it's doesn't conjure up thoughts of class but hold on...this was a surprise.  I checked into the hotel with the first lady and OMG what a room.  (It's comped because I'm there performing, which makes it even better)  I couldn't believe the room, everything the finest $400.00 rooms could offer and in Waterloo of all places.  Her is the shower rating...5 out of 5 stars.  Nothing could be better.  

You walk in and at first you don't even see the shower, that is very cool.  You turn to the right and there it is, glass partitioned door, tiled with even a seat.  The water came out like a rain shower, towels were nicely stashed in a cuby in the shower area it's self, so no door opening and getting a chill.  Heck with room, I'll live in the shower.

Hayatt Regency downtown Minneapolis.  This was interesting.  I pricelined the hotel and they my put the Pricelinners in the old wing.  Room was OK, shower was typical, good pressure old but sturdy.  I'd give it a solid 3 stars, but for the Hyatt, I expect more so sorry your getting bumped to 2 1/2 stars. 

I stayed in the Doubletree downtown Minneapolis and that shower rocked.  Great view thru the clear glass (not plastic) but glass.  Very modern theme.  4 1/2 stars. 

I'll be a little more proactive with the blog, been very busy with the band and work.  Things are good so check back soon.

Thank you for being my Mother!!
